We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

Sure. You aren’t paying them.
I hope you are enjoying getting paid. How are your Republican “colleagues”? The ones who attack our cities, terrorize our people and rob us of our wealth , health, and dignity.
You’re real comfy, untouched, insulated, self-satisfied.
WTF?

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Fix this country! Back stabbing, bs artist, freeloaders.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

As a parent of a child with autism, this isn’t just politics, it’s personal.

The federal gov’t firing special-needs staff in the Dept. of Education is a direct blow to families like mine. Our kids deserve better.

In Congress, I’ll fight to protect & fully fund special education.

Don’t let any trump people in your house, especially these ICE and border patrol nazis. Talk to and warn kids about them; never leave your kids alone with them.
They serve a recreational rapist, a lifelong fraud, an unfaithfuloath breaking traitor. What does that tell you about them?

At this point you have to presume that anyone who is promoted to anything in ICE, DHS, FBI, or DOJ is the absolute last person you want even working there.
